Prof. Dr. Hubert Röder and his team welcome you to the website of the Professorship Business Economics of Biogenic Resources at the Weihenstephan Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences.

The research focus of the department is on economic issues in the sustainable material and energetic use of agricultural and forestry raw materials. This includes above all the business management analysis and optimisation of existing and new business areas in these areas, whereby the focus is on the sustainable economic development of the companies and the economic significance of the sector. The research projects should make a contribution to the sustainable transformation of raw materials and energy. The entrepreneurial and economic orientation of the projects aims at the use of agricultural and forestry renewable raw materials, renewable energies and energy sources from biomass and modern materials and biomaterials. In addition to the substitution of fossil resources, efficient utilisation paths and high energy efficiency play a central role. This applies both to traditional areas of application such as the construction sector and the packaging industry as well as to new basic materials and materials, for example for the chemical industry and vehicle construction in a regional and international context.
